A picture of "Weird Al" playing the FR-7x can be seen on Roland's website, along with a quote from Yankovic that reads, “It’s great, especially if you’re a solo accordion act. You can get a whole lot of really cool sounds out of it and basically be a one-man band.”

A Roland article mentions how "Weird Al" is using the Roland FR-2 V-Accordion, which he used on a surprise appearance with the Presidents of the United States of America. When asked how he likes the FR-2, "Weird Al" says:

"The FR-2 is the best of all worlds in terms of its size and weight. I’ve already used it in the studio for a recording session with an artist named Sarah Taylor. And, it’s small and lightweight enough that I can rock out with it on stage and not get a hernia or collapse in exhaustion."

In the provided photograph, "Weird Al" Yankovic is observed playing a Vintage 1950s Universal 3-1/2 Octave 120-Button Accordion. This specific accordion, produced by Universal Accordions of Italy, which was active from 1952 to 1983, showcases the distinctive characteristics of instruments from the late '50s to early '60s. It is noted that Universal Accordions were imported into the United States, often under various brand names and badges, including those of music studios or dealers who imported them, and some were sold via mail order during the 1950s.
